As expected, the winemaking style is modern. The blend is a combination of 70-year-old Grenache and 30-year-old Syrah, and the 2009 is bold with underlying purity and beautiful aromas of berries, liquorice and violets. Still young, but already accessible due to the nature of the vintage. An excellent expression of the varietals and real value for money. Source: Marlon Abela, spearswms.com, Jan. 17, 2013
